...determines which cell types can be infected by each type of virus. As shown in Figure 5, the nucleocapsid contains viral protein and RNA (ribonucleoprotein) and the envelope of influenza-A has two external viral proteins – the haemagglutinin and neuraminidase. [Cross-sectional diagram of the spherical virus, the convoluted ribonucleoprotein genome with its replication...

...determine how yellow fever was spread, examined existing theories and was particularly impressed by Finlay's 1881 mosquito hypothesis. This, coupled with Carter's observations made in Mississippi in 1898, suggesting an incubation from first infecting case to later secondary cases of from two to three weeks, influenced Walter Reed and his associates to explore mosquito...

...determine the time lag of the slower, dim eye. That is easily calculated, if we know how fast the pendulum is moving. Then we can use the simple equation: [Time equals distance divided by speed] Or, in our case: [t equals L divided by V] where t is the time lag we want to find and V is the speed. The speed we need is the speed at the centre of the pendulum’s motion. To...
